I’m trying to feel more comfortable using random GitHub projects, basically.

    I mean anything is a good fit for future, science fiction AI if we imagine hard enough.

    What you describe as “blatant malicious code” is probably only things like very specific C&C domains or instruction sets. We already have very efficient string matching tools for those, though, and they don’t burn power at an atrocious rate.

    You’ve given us an example so PoC||GTFO. Major code AI tools like Copilot struggle to explain test files with a variety of styles, skips, and comments, so I think you have your work cut out for you.

      How is a string matching tool going to find a single .?

        A single character, per your definition, is not blatant malicious code. Stop moving the goalposts.

        It’s clear you don’t understand the space and you don’t seem to have any interest in acting in good faith based on your other comments so good luck.

          I’m not moving any goalposts. The addition of the . was very blatant. They literally just added a syntax error. It went undetected because humans don’t have the stamina to exhaustively do code review down to that level. Computers (even AI) don’t have that issue.

          You are clearly out of your depth here.
